Third party work injuries
An accident lawyer fights aggressively for injury victims
A workplace accident may not only be the responsibility of your employer: Third party negligence may be a factor. Turn to the experienced attorneys at the Law Offices of Mickey Fine in Southern California to help you sort through the insurance company red tape and get the compensation you deserve. Call (800) 576-3818.
The workers' compensation system protects businesses from being sued by their employees for workplace injuries. California and many other states have separate provisions for third-party claims for workplace accidents caused by a party other than the injured person's employer. A third-party claim allows you to pursue additional compensation for pain and suffering and other damages that may be a result of a serious construction accident or oil field accident.
How a work injury lawyer in California can help
Our office does not handle workers' compensation claims. We represent workers who have been injured due to third-party negligence. Third party workplace injury claims can arise from the following circumstances:
- Construction vehicle accident on-site
- On-site commercial vehicle accident
- Objects falling from a shelf
- Improperly stored or loaded equipment or material
- Failure to mark off a hazardous area
- Improperly stored or maintained safety equipment
A typical third-party case might involve a worker in a car injured because of another driver's negligence. If a construction worker is injured as a result of improper maintenance of equipment that is maintained by an outside company, the worker may have a case of third party liability.
Construction sites often include several subcontractors and other third parties who may be responsible for accident injuries. A claim could be filed against a product manufacturer, building engineer, or delivery truck driver.
